It covers Apple/Google tax. They didn’t want to have lower revenue on mobile or go the Spotify route.

Or limit copyright terms to ~20 years and repeal Section 1201 (together with 512 for good measure). That would cover far more than just old games.

Feedbro has a simple and customizable UI and supports both Chrome and Firefox.

Don’t see a problem with it as long as they don’t get copyright on the outputs of their AI. That would make enforcing any IP impossible on the internet because there’s no way to prove it wasn’t AI generated.

This type of reporting is super counterproductive imo. When people read “the planet’s fucked, no way to fix it now” a lot of them either give up and stop caring or become violent extremists. The right way is cautious optimism and busting myths - “here’s why public transport doesn’t suck” or “we need to build more solar panels” or “nuclear plants aren’t dangerous”.

Do you think Ernest should run and develop this whole site out of his personal income?

Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it’s either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There’s no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

Maybe don’t call them shitlibs?

You can choose the emulator version and binary images don’t compress well so the repack install time is just overhead.

Bluesky is working on a fix. They have a global identity system where you can move all your data (posts, likes, followers, blocks) to another instance if you get banned. The only thing that changes is your handle.

Don’t do that. Deleting your account is enough and some of your comments might be useful info that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.

Even in the US there’s no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn’t take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.

It’s their decision and you should respect that. I also don’t agree with the defederation and the rest of their policies but you can just not use it. No need to turn this into a political conflict.

Mint is very opinionated and made explicitly for less technical users. If you have basic command line skills (or you’re willing to learn) Fedora gives you more choice and in my experience it’s actually more reliable than Debian based distros.

This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don’t have money wouldn’t destroy everything like in RARBG’s case.

Email addresses are not private info. You don’t have to put your real name in them.

Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.

These are all fast, violent and kind of similar to each other:

• Broforce is a platformer with fully destructible levels where you save the world from Satan’s terrorist army. It has more explosions than a Michael Bay movie.
• Hotline Miami and its sequel are tactical top down games about shooting up houses. You die a lot but restarts are automatic so it’s no big deal.
• Katana Zero is like Hotline Miami if it was a platformer. You’re a cyber ninja who can slow down time and reflect bullets with his katana. The story is interesting and very emotional.
• Ghostrunner is Katana Zero but 3D.
